Witch Under Martian Skies in Oil Painting

An ancient witch stands on the rust-red dunes of Mars, painted in the grand tradition of oil painting. Thick impasto brushstrokes, warm ochres and crimson tones with deep ultramarine shadows. The witch wears a flowing cloak and a tall pointed hat; her hands are raised, conjuring a levitating emerald cauldron that emits spiraling green motes of magic. Behind her lies a Martian landscape: jagged canyons, distant Olympus Mons, and a partially buried rover to show scale. The sky blends Martian orange and purple twilight with a field of distant stars, and Phobos and Deimos are visible as small moons. A low sun casts golden highlights on the witch while cool blues illuminate the shadows, creating dramatic tenebrism. The entire scene should read as an old master oil painting with visible brushstrokes, textured canvas, and a subtle varnish sheen, evoking mythic, otherworldly magic.
